New video captures ICE in ‘drive-by’ mace attack on peaceful people on sidewalk
Dozens of protesters in Phoenix, Arizona were hit in a drive-by mace attack Monday night by an apparent Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent, Phoenix New Times editor Zach Buchanan reported.
“I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea,” Buchanan wrote in a social media post on X, alongside video of the incident.
“It shows protesters – on the sidewalk, impeding no one – getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road. Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.”
In the video, around two dozen demonstrators can be seen protesting ICE on a sidewalk near a sports grill just outside of Phoenix’s downtown area as apparent ICE vehicles drive by. As a silver truck bearing sirens passes by, an individual in the front passenger seat can be seen spraying protesters with what appears to be mace as the vehicle passes by.
“Oh my god, oh my god,” a voice can be heard shouting moments after the protesters were sprayed.
One protester appeared injured by the drive-by mace attack, with others rushing to their aid and one offering them an article of clothing to wipe their face.
The sports grill where the incident took place just outside of – Zipps Sports Grill – was the target of a criminal investigation carried out by the Department of Homeland Security and several partner agencies, Fox News reported, with DHS being granted 15 search warrants for the eatery.

FBI searches election hub in county where Trump got indicted for racketeering
FBI carried out a search of an election hub in a Georgia county that was one of President Donald Trump's primary target for fraud claims.
Agents were seen going into the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center, reported Fox News Digital.
The outlet reported that it was told the probe was related to the 2020 election.
The FBI and Department of Justice each declined to comment on the search.
The hub facility was opened in 2023 by state officials to streamline the county's election process.
Trump was indicted by a Fulton County grand jury along with 18 co-defendants in 2023 on charges related to his efforts to overturn his election loss to Joe Biden, but that case was ultimately dismissed after district attorney Fani Willis was removed over an improper relationship with a special prosecutor.
Four of Trump's alleged co-conspirators pleaded guilty and agreed to testify against him and the other defendants.
